The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, May 4th – Sunday, May 10th
With Mars moving through the area of career and life-direction, you may have felt up against it in recent weeks. But there’s a reason for everything, and with Mars angling Jupiter, you may be about to experience a breakthrough. Certainly, if you receive an offer at this time, take it because it could prove life-changing. Clearly, you have to be happy with a decision, but if you are holding back in the hopes of a better offer, you’d be wiser to take what is on the table. It’s not an easy week. Pluto is in charge so not only is the deep past playing into the present but actions have long-lasting consequences.
Take it or leave it.

Monday, April 27 – Sunday, May 3
Friday’s full moon brings the curtain down on one of the most volatile periods of the year. Maybe you have been dealing with one challenge after another so that you’ve had little time for rest and relaxation or perhaps you’ve been fine and dandy and other people’s dramas have taken up your time. Whatever the pattern of the past three months, things are changing. In a nutshell, this full moon marks the end of a gestation period so either something is ready to be delivered or it is poised to move on to a new stage. On the other hand, a project could be done and dusted.
Endings.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
May 2026
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Something’s got to give. As long as you’ve got most of what you have worked or hoped for, accept it. Continuing to hold out for more will end badly. While this advice applies first and foremost to career and financial matters, a little more give and take will ensure success in your personal life too. Venus will enter your sign on the 19th sprinkling you with fairy dust! Expect an uptick in romance and fun times, and a little more luck in general. As always, when you expect the best that’s usually what you get.
